Yeah, I figured out why Teva calls these a Dozer Sandal! The leather is so stiff and the insole SO hard that they could be compared to a bull-dozer. They looked SO great and the price was so excellent that I couldn't resist ordering them. But they had to be returned because even before I tried them on, just looking at them made my feet hurt. Really a shame, since everything else about these sandals was perfect.

Finally, after looking and looking for the sort of pants that could be worn for nearly everything from shopping to climbing mountains to 12-hour flights, I found the perfect one. Comfortable, easy to care for, great looking and great fitting ~ what more could I ask for?! I ordered a second pair because I liked them so much. They're much more attractive than they look online and at a decent price. I expect these will be my go-to trousers for a long time!

Even though winter was nearly over, when I saw the North Face/ Anna Purna Lace Boot at BackCountry listed at half-price I couldn't resist. I went ahead and ordered them with some trepidation ~ not knowing if they would look as good as shown or if they would fit my needs. Turns out they were far better than I expected on both counts. Awesome boots! Almost to the knee with laces to assure snow won't get in over the top and the fit couldn't possibly be better! And even though they're a light-weight boot, the amazing insulation is very warm and the base part of the boot is heavy-duty and keeps the feet warm and dry. Kudos! Love the boots!!

The Outdoor Research Ferossi pants are perhaps the most comfortable pants I've ever owned! Great looking and ease of care in addition to their comfort make them an all-round winner. After receiving my first pair in black and seeing the quality construction on top of all the other features, I ordered a second pair in "mushroom" (great color!). I expect these will be my go-to pants from now on!
